Today, we honor a member of the LA HT Survivor Advisory Council by sharing a nugget of wisdom.
If survivors from the life continue to learn more about human trafficking every day, then how much more do we all have to learn? #stoptrafficking#nothingaboutuswithoutus
It is our privilege to fight against human trafficking alongside survivors. Survivor Voice is paramount and has been a part of our framework since we started. It is because of them and with them that we do this work.
Thank you to everyone who came out for yesterday’s National Coalition for the Prevention of Human Sex Trafficking kickoff hosted by @FirstLadyOfLA & @LAFirstFound. Good luck to @UNC_Basketball & @KUHoops in tonight’s game. Visit https://t.co/9VFjxBedCh for info on staying safe.
In 2021, @LouisianaGov created the Task Force on Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls to recommend solutions and raise public awareness about the ongoing crisis of violence against Indigenous women. Learn more by watching this short documentary https://t.co/3TRq3pepQn.
Honoured to attend this inaugural event on #HumanTrafficking and to have discussions with @FirstLadyOfLA and @ARFirstLady about 🇨🇦 commitment and ongoing work, including for #MMIWG.
Advocate @cyntoia_brown recounts her heart breaking life story of surviving sex trafficking & a system that failed her as a child. She now empowers survivors across the country & educates others about tools to help victims. #stoptraffickingla#lagov#stoptrafficking#ncphst
Kate Shipley thanks @FirstLadyOfLA & @LouisianaGov for their support of Child Advocacy Centers and their commitment to empowering child survivors around the state of Louisiana! Gov. Edwards ensured that CACs across the state received funding. #lagov#stoptrafficking#ncphst
I’m glad to attend the program for the National Coalition for the Prevention of Human Sex Trafficking, organized by @FirstLadyOfLA & other First Ladies. Trafficking is especially prevalent at large sporting events, so it’s important to be aware during the Final Four festivities.
.@ARFirstLady Susan Hutchinson shares her love of child advocacy centers and the importance of multiple agencies working together to help children and tackle human trafficking. She says 90% of child victims know their abuser. #lagov#stoptraffickingla#stoptrafficking#ncphst
US Attorney Ronald Gathe shares his experience prosecuting the first human trafficker to be convicted in the Middle District of Louisiana. He says the first task of traffickers is to take all forms of identification from their victims. #lagov#StopTraffickingLA
.@FirstLadyOfLA Donna Edwards has dedicated the last six years to learning about and helping to resolve human trafficking. It’s the fastest growing crime in the world, affecting women, men, boys, and girls. #lagov#stoptrafficking
.@LouisianaGov is welcoming a packed audience for the evening program on the National Coalition for the Prevention of Human Sex Trafficking. He says these crimes occur even in his home community in Tangipahoa Parish.
The largest group of Governors and First Ladies ever convened to stop human sex trafficking are in New Orleans for the Final Four. @cyntoia_brown and other advocates are joining them to discuss finding victims and providing them with resources to restore safety. #lagov
The #GeauxBags project is supported by the Governors and First Ladies. It was started in Shreveport, LA to give vulnerable children comfort items for their first night in foster care. Many victims of human trafficking are children.
Resources for family and survivors of human trafficking are available online. Today, @FirstLadyOfLA highlighted “quick exit” and “need help” buttons on the Human Trafficking Prevention Resource Center site. https://t.co/yN0sLTCEwP
TUNE IN: Today at noon, I will join First Lady Donna Edwards and several governors and first ladies for a press conference to announce the National Coalition for the Prevention of Human Sex Trafficking. #lagov
